priority vs option

so... I've been told all my life not to make someone a priority when they make you an option. The choice is between me and a video game and almost 70% of the time the video game is chosen. Now... How much harder is it when the person who makes that choice is the love of my life, my fiancé? It makes me feel so neglected. And every time I try to talk to him about it, he's the one who gets angry. I just don't understand how I can make my point without us having this huge blow out fight. It's just not necessary... I've told him time after time after time that I can handle him playing while I'm working and for a couple of hours while I'm around, but when he plays until WAY after I've fallen asleep and then sleeps until after I go to work, we never spend time together. It's tearing me apart, and I don't know what I can do to show him. I don't want to lose him, but the only thing I can think of to make him come back to the reality of our relationship is to take a step back from fiancé to girlfriend. I don't want to do that, but if that's what gets through to him, what else can I do? I make him a priority... I put gas in his car, I bring him ice cream, I take care of him when he's sick, I pay for us to go on dates, I clean his bathroom and bedroom for him. What more can I do for him to make him appreciate me? Maybe this is all I'm going to get out of our relationship. Just a hole in my heart where he should be. It's going to happen that I'm going to grow to resent him... and feel like he treats me like his unpaid maid. I don't want or need that. I'm going to be his wife... not his cash flow, not his maid.
